Likes

Hardly anything to like about ZS. Probably the Cab facility is the only thing that seems on a better side

Dislikes

...10 am in the morning to 1 am in night, with still expectation to work even more. Salary: A lot of favouritism in terms of bonus and all, salary depends on promotion a lot and because promotion is all straight politics so salary gets impacted, overall for the kind of work done, salary is low. Promotion: Straight politics, if you manager wants, you can be promoted else no one cares for how good your review really is. A lot of politics here Job-security: No job security at all, whenever the team doesn't have much work in pipeline, they start reducing the headcount by putting people on a plan (PIP), have personally seen 3 cases in my team. Company culture: because of too much politics, it's extremely toxic

Salary and bonus is good as compared to core pharma companies

Dislikes

Work life balance and bias among teams isn't good at all. Normal days are 10 am to 10 pm which very often stretchs beyond this as well. The transparency between hierarchies is very questionable. Even after working day and night your manager might question your credibility.
